Chelsea's Raheem Sterling to snub lucrative Saudi Arabia move?
The former Manchester City attacker has been a topic of discussion over the past week following scenes during the Blues' FA quarter-final clash with Leicester City.
Sterling was guilty of missing a couple of clear-cut chances — as well as a first-half penalty — before being replaced in the 86th minute by Noni Madueke.
The 29-year-old was jeered at numerous points on Sunday versus the Foxes, including when he skied a free kick effort into the Stamford Bridge crowd, and while he walked off the pitch late on.
According to the Daily Mail, Sterling is attracting interest from the Saudi Pro League for his services ahead of the summer transfer window.
However, the report claims that the England international is not keen on a move to the Middle East at the end of the campaign and will snub any offers.
It is understood that the ex-Liverpool youngster is determined to win over the section of Chelsea supporters who were highly critical of his performance against Enzo Maresca's men.
Having netted six goals and provided three assists in 25 Premier League matches, Sterling is enjoying a more productive season than his first in West London, however one league strike since November 25 has left some fans frustrated.
The four-time Premier League winner has not been selected by Gareth Southgate for an England squad since March 2023, with the likes of Jarrod Bowen and Cole Palmer emerging as options for the Three Lions.
Following a trophy-laden spell at the Etihad — primarily under the expert tutelage of Pep Guardiola — Sterling moved to Chelsea in the summer of 2022 for £47.5m.
